  Chapter 9A of the Norwegian Education Act obligates teachers to act upon any suspicion of deficits in the school environment. This cross-sectional study explores teachers' (n = 140) perceptions and motivations in terms of initiating cases according to 9A, considering both accountability and responsibility. Teachers' job satisfaction and self-efficacy are associated with their approach to 9A. The strongest predictor of case initiation is how difficult teachers perceive taking action to be. Other significant predictors are their content knowledge and the law's perceived effect. These findings have significance for policymakers, teacher education, and professional communities in schools.

  Universiteter og høgskoler (UH) i Norge har to faglige karriereveier: Den tradisjonelle professorstigen og den særnorske dosentstigen. Selv om karriereløpene i prinsippet er likeverdige, så er professorveien langt bedre etablert enn dosentveien. Denne artikkelen har som mål å bidra til kunnskap om hvilke kompetanser førstelektorer og dosenter tilfører akademia. Artikkelen bygger på Boyers teorigrunnlag om forskjellige typer kompetanse i UH-sektoren. Disse ses i sammenheng med lovfestede kriterier om ansettelse og opprykk. Datagrunnlaget er hentet fra en digital spørreundersøkelse, der 164 førstelektorer og 56 dosenter fra åtte UH-institusjoner i Norge beskrev hva de la ved av dokumentasjon på kompetanse og relevant erfaring i sine opprykkssøknader. Funnene indikerer at førstelektorer og dosenter tilfører akademia en bred kompetanse som dekker alle fire områdene Boyer fremhever som helt nødvendig for UH-sektoren. Funnene viser at førstelektorene og dosentene dokumenterer forskning i søknadene sine. I tillegg bidrar de til akademia med undervisningsmateriell, ressurser til bruk i kunnskapsformidling og fagartikler. De viser til omfattende pedagogisk virksomhet, og praktisk pedagogisk kompetanse innen undervisning og veiledning. Dosentene dokumenterer også omfattende relevant yrkeserfaring og pedagogisk virksomhet fra praksisfeltet, f.eks. inn mot nærings- og samfunnsliv. Personer på dosentstigen har ofte mange års undervisningserfaring før de søker opprykk. De ivaretar en ekspertrolle for undervisning og veiledning.

  This article is a contribution to understanding teacher identity related to working with students' psychosocial environment (PSE). A systematic review of quantitative studies (n = 10) analyzing the relations between components of teacher identity and teachers' work with the PSE is presented. Findings indicate significant relations between the identity components task-related self-efficacy and job satisfaction along with likelihood or frequency of intervention in bullying situations. However, results regarding relations between general teaching efficacy or task perception and teachers' approach to bullying were inconclusive. Findings suggest that teachers' self-efficacy and job satisfaction as identity domains play an important role in students' PSE. This information has implications for teacher education, professional development, and policymakers.

  Recent international research has highlighted deep learning as an essential prerequisite for pupils to meet the global challenges of the future. This focus has drawn attention to Norwegian challenges, indicating that instruction leaves little room for pupils to engage intensively in tasks over time and to foster deep-learning processes. Thus, a new curriculum was implemented in the Norwegian educational system in the autumn of 2020 to emphasize deep learning throughout all content areas. This study investigates how teachers provide learning conditions fostering learning and motivation processes to support pupils’ learning during mathematics lessons. After their mathematics lesson, 144 pupils from 9 classes (grades 7–9) in seven schools in Norway completed a questionnaire. It consisted of items measuring their perception of the relevance of the content taught, the quality of the instruction given, the teacher’s interest and enthusiasm, and the extent to which the instruction fulfilled their psychological needs for social relation, autonomy, and feeling competent. On average, the pupils reported that they applied surface-level learning strategies rather than deep-level strategies in their mathematics lessons. They also lacked intrinsic motivation. To a large degree, pupils reported that they hardly recognised the content’s relevance. The results support the focus on deep learning in the 2020 curriculum reform in Norway. Additionally, they reveal conditions worth investigating when aiming to foster pupils’ deep learning and motivation.

  Norway is often highlighted as an outstanding democracy. Nevertheless, there is still a need to work on democratic issues to prevent radicalism and extremism. This chapter presents how a national prevention approach, Democratic Preparedness against Racism and Anti-Semitism (DEMBRA), is conducted in southern Norway. DEMBRA is directed at both schools and at teacher education. It highlights the origins of the DEMBRA programmes and how a regional peace centre (ARKIVET) and a local university (University of Agder) both work on the issues of radicalism and extremism. Finally, the authors draw some conclusions from the two different implementations of DEMBRA.

  I internasjonal sammenheng er den norske dosentstillingen unik ved at den likestilles med professor som akademisk toppstilling. Denne boken kombinerer et grundig blikk på dosentrollen og dens plass i universitets- og høgskolesystemet med en presentasjon av et utviklingsprosjekt for å løfte førstelektorer opp karrierestigen til dosentnivå ved Universitetet i Agder (UiA). Bokens første del presenterer den norske dosenten i et historisk, nåtidig og FoU-teoretisk perspektiv. I andre del forteller seks dosenter om sin vei til stillingskvalifikasjonen. Del tre presenterer tenkningen bak prosjektet ved UiA, samt hvordan opplegget ble gjennomført og evaluert i etterkant. I bokens siste del behandles dosentstillingens nåtidige og framtidige utfordringer. Blant temaene som tas opp, er opprykkskriteriene for dosenter og sakkyndige utvalgs bedømmelsesarbeid. Å satse på dosenter kan leses som en praktisk innføring i hvordan gjennomføre opprykksseminarer for dosenter, men også som et innlegg i diskusjonen om hvordan man videreutvikler forskning, undervisning og formidling ved universiteter og høgskoler. Boken er særlig relevant for dosenter og dosentkandidater, medlemmer av sakkyndige utvalg og ledere på ulike nivåer ved høyere utdanningsinstitusjoner. Som et innlegg i debatten om høyere utdannings behov for ulikt profilerte fagstillinger er boken aktuell for en bredere målgruppe av forskere, forskningspolitikere og -byråkrater, både i Norge og i de øvrige skandinaviske landene. Redaktører for boken er Carl Christian Bachke, dosent emeritus ved Universitetet i Agder, og Mads Hermansen, dr. pæd.og professor emeritus ved Universitetet i Agder.

  The German professional development program SINUS for Primary Schools (2009-2013) aimed to enhance the quality of science and mathematics instruction in primary schools. The implementation was coordinated and evaluated by the Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (IPN) in Kiel, Germany. About 870 schools and 5440 teachers participated. In this article we take a closer look at the scientific methods in science instruction and analyse how these are implemented in instruction to address upcoming science standards in secondary school. The results presented refer to the descriptive video data from eight lessons of SINUS teachers and three lessons of teachers from a control group. The findings from the video study show that the scientific methods geared towards the standards in science for secondary school can also be observed in primary school. The results are discussed in terms of cumulative learning and the importance of coordinating educational content between different types of schools.

  Addressing interprofessional collaboration (IPC) around children at risk has become a priority. The present study examines 209 2nd and 153 3rd year Norwegian students’ self-perceived IPC skills within an interprofessional educational program on at-risk children and youth. It explores potential differences between the two year groups and between student teachers and students from health and social care disciplines, given the limited inclusion of teacher education in prior IPC research. Students perceive themselves to be between ‘good’ and ‘very good’ at interprofessional collaboration and communication. Furthermore, 57.5% of the students perceived they had improved their ability to collaborate interprofessionally after the seminar. We found significant differences between 2nd and 3rd-year students, but not between student teachers and other students. Thus, the seminar may enable future professionals, including student teachers, to collaborate and communicate in such a way that they truly create a team around the child.

  Interprofessional collaboration is crucial for providing coherent and effective welfare services. Without it, children and families may experience fragmented and inefficient support with poor flow of information, impeding quality and follow-up (Kjørstad et al., 2025). Therefore, educational programmes need to provide students with conceptual understanding and practical experience with interprofessional collaboration. Recognizing the need for coordinated efforts across health, social care, and education, this project addresses fragmented services by fostering proactive, interdisciplinary collaboration through interprofessional education. At [anonymized], students from several professional programmes meet annually for a joint on-campus seminar with plenary lectures and interprofessional group work. Although much is known about students’ perceptions of such work, gaining more knowledge about how students behave and engage when they practice interprofessional collaboration, can provide insight into possible hindering and facilitating factors during such a learning process. Using video recordings of five interprofessional groups consisting of five students, we observed students’ participation, turntaking, role negotiation, and discussions of professional boundaries while engaging in and applying their professional view on an authentic task from the practice field. These data contribute to further development of interprofessional education ensuring that future professionals are equipped to work effectively across disciplines in supporting vulnerable children and youth.

  If we want to increase motivation for teacher education programs and the teaching profession, we should think about which motives should be strengthened and possibly facilitated. To find out what motivated teacher education students to choose their program and how motivated they are for a) their program and b) their future profession, 96 pre-service kindergarten teachers, 110 pre-service teachers for primary education, and 78 pre-service teachers for secondary education completed a short survey. Differences between the groups were observed regarding the main motives to choose their program. No differences were observed regarding the level of motivation. The findings show that the different groups of pre-service teachers may each need an idiosyncratic approach to attract them to these programs and to keep them motivated during their studies.

  The project intends to conduct a comparative approach to better understand the culture of assessment in higher education institutions. Starting with a well developed, frequently applied and validated English-language 14-item survey instrument, measuring the ‘culture of assessment’ in higher education, the project addresses two core challenges. First, the field of evaluation and assessment contains a diverse set of concepts, and these concepts often do not translate easily from one language to another. We had to address the language challenge because one knows that language mirrors a nation’s culture, that is, “… language fixes concepts” (Le Metais, 2001, p.201). Second, while the concept ‘culture of assessment’ is a well-established concept and approach in American education, in Europe the concept of ‘culture of assessment’ is used less frequently or is interpreted and applied in distinct ways. For instance, in Norway a ‘vurderingskultur’ is strongly related to learning approaches. This conceptualization started with the Norwegian educational policy initiative in 2010 and following (Directory of Education, 2010, 2011a,b, 2012, 2014, 2015). One core objective of these whitepapers is to stress the aspect of ‘assessment for learning’ by feedback. Moreover, the concepts of ‘evaluation and “reporting found in the Norwegian language reflect some important aspects of assessment that are not necessarily addressed by ‘assessment’.
